Questions to Mumbai Authorities
The speaker addresses the authorities of the BMC, ward corporators, and city servants, expressing disappointment with the situation in Mumbai. They argue that the city's population is not a valid excuse for poor facilities, pointing to cities like Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, and Jakarta, which manage their infrastructure effectively despite similar or larger populations. The speaker questions why the same level of scrutiny applied to businesses during elections isn't applied to under-construction sites to ensure rules are followed and dust is managed. They suggest a lack of will to address these issues.
The speaker further questions where the municipality's money is going, given that Mumbai, despite being the richest municipality, struggles to build even simple roads. They imply corruption is rampant due to the failure to adhere to proper standards in construction. The speaker accuses officials of prioritising personal gain over the city's development, urging them to provide a functional city in return for their earnings. They suggest that officials do not feel a sense of ownership or responsibility towards Mumbai, as evidenced by their neglect of the city's problems.
